have a 318 poly in a 64 polara 440. it has headers and 3" exhaust,steet cam, electronic iggy, other then that its a stock engine. just picked up a stock dual quad intake for it. thinking quadrajets but realy need some advise here. this is my second car and 1st dual carb set up. so what type & size carb's should i get. any one got a simular set up , up and running? pic of whats on it now.
The Quadrajets would require an adapter which would impede flow,older AFB Carbs would be ideal or Edelbrock 500 CFM Carbs.
Yup! Not sure on a '64 intake if the bore holes still have to be opened up like on the earlier WCFB intakes for the Edelbrocks, or if they were a bit bigger by then.
Get you a couple of thermoquads which were used in MOPARS to help absorb the heat from the engine,they will bolt right on and are easy to maintain,you definitly don"t want to use Holleys on it.
Exactly. They were made for AFB's, dude - use an Edelbrock if you must, but the right AFB will run better. ~Jason
Nope. Running tri-powers on both of mine and before that I was running a single 4 on a Weiand manifold. For some reason, and it's probably due to the cost of fuel very few people run dual 4's here in Australia. swifty
Given that the 318 is mostly stock, I would recommend the WCFB. They worked well on the C-300 and 300B. .
hot rod roadster, your engine just became my screen saver. eddies got the vote now. more $ than i was hoping to spend , but knew that getting in. no more messing will research prices on a pair . and order.
Depending on your carb expertise...you can talk to Edelbrock & tell them you want 2 set up for your application, the engine is a bit small for 2 500s.
Does anyone still make 4bbl inlets for the 313/318 poly? I'd like to change out my 2bbl for a 4bbl...cast or alloy, dont mind which. Not much hope of finding one in NZ
On mine we had bumped the compression a bit with a dome'd piston and had the cam re-ground. Ran hard and never had any problems. Gary
Are any of y'all from the 318 Poly Yahoo Group? http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/318poly/ It's where the majority of us Poly folks can be found... and parts, too! ~Jason
ended up with a set of carter afb's 500 cfm . came with a fuel line kit and a s/s linkage. need to put a rebuild kit in 'em. have rebuilt amals and mikuni's but nothing for a car. will start up a new thread on rebuilding them. abomination thanks for the link. been trying to find that group. three views and the manafold
No prob, man. Anything you need, feel free to hit us up on the Yahoo Group anytime. Bunches of us have parts, etc you may need. Running that intake, you might want to buy a matching cam... ~Jason
